But curiosity is curiosity, she didn't ask after all.

When returning to the city, because it was too late, the carriage was interrogated at the city gate, although he knew that Zhou Yan was the son of Chang'an Hou, but the Yuzhou city guards still opened the curtain according to the rules to check.

When he saw a woman still sitting in the carriage, the guard who checked his face changed, and quickly lowered the curtain to let him go.

After the carriage left, no matter what others asked the guards to see, he refused to say more, so he didn't spread the news of Lin Xingling's meeting with Zhou Yan late at night.

When he arrived at Nanluoguxiang, Lin Xing thought of Fang Cai's face and said with a smile: "It seems that he has misunderstood, Fang Cai should explain." ”

"How do you explain it?" Zhou Yan propped his forehead and asked with a light smile, "Do you want to say that you and I went to dig graves late at night?" ”

"That's going to be a ghost story." Lin Xing couldn't cry or laugh, turned around and got out of the carriage, saluted Zhou Yanfu, and then turned around and entered the hospital.

originally thought that it was late at night, and Zhao Jie might have fallen asleep, but as soon as he entered the flower hall and saw Zhao Jie, who was waiting for him with an oil lamp, Lin Xing was stunned and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Late at night, did you ever put my father in your eyes?" Zhao Jie's face was gloomy, but he still tried to suppress his anger, "Have you forgotten your identity!" ”

"You are the one who forgot your identity, did you question your elders like this?" Since she wanted to talk about her identity, Lin Xing was not polite to him, and moved out of the elders' frame to press him.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Zhao Jie's face was very ugly, and he moved his lips for a while and said, "You can't give birth to a son as big as me!" ”

"Then if I marry your father, you should also call me a mother." Lin Xing glanced at him unceremoniously, walked to the main seat next to him and sat down, "Today I went to check the medicine shop with the prince." ”

Zhao Jie had already learned from Uncle Zhong about his father's change of pharmacy before his death, and his anger subsided a little when he heard Lin Xing explain to him.

He glanced at Lin Xing strangely, and muttered, "This is decent." I'm the head of the family, you should ......"

"Who taught you this?" Lin Xing interrupted him suddenly, his apricot eyes skimmed slightly, with a faint warning, "I don't have a rule of respecting men, I am the one who investigates your father's death, and I am the one who decides whether to split the family, if you really want to say who the owner of this family is, it should be me and not you." Just ask, what have you done for this family, so that you dare to call yourself the head of the family in front of me? ”

Zhao Jie was so angry with her that her teeth itched, and she scolded viciously: "Just because my surname is Zhao, your surname is Lin!" Besides, who broke you up? Did you ask me before you took matters into your own hands? ”

"The family has been divided, and it is a contract signed by your grandfather and grandmother. If you can't let them go, I can send you to prison to be reunited with them. After Lin Xing finished speaking, thinking of Zhao Jing, the only one in the Zhao family who had not yet been arrested, he sneered, "It's just right, send you and your second uncle in and give your grandfather and grandmother companions." ”

She hasn't pursued the matter of thousands of gambling houses, so Zhao Jing has been able to get away with it so far.

And when Zhao Jie heard that she was really going to send herself in, he immediately panicked, and quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't say that I couldn't let it go, don't talk about it!" ”

After speaking, seeing that Lin Xing had recovered his expression, and was no longer as cold as Fang Cai, he asked cautiously, "Are you really not ready to save the Zhao family?" ”

"You want to save?" Lin Xing raised her eyes and swept over.

Zhao Jie wanted to say that he would not save him, but he was a little discouraged when he thought of what Uncle Zhong said to him in the afternoon.

"I don't want to save it, but Uncle Zhong said that if I don't save it, I will definitely fall into a bad reputation for being disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous in the future, and no one will dare to do business with me at that time."

Lin Xing sneered, "If you don't want to save it, then don't save it, and when the time comes, spread the accusation that they murdered your father, I see who will dare to chew the root of their tongue." ”

"However, I heard that my grandfather took more than 200,000 taels of silver from the shop, if I don't save them, will I be able to get that money back?" Zhao Jie asked with pain on his face.

Lin Xing looked at him, his eyes fell between his eyebrows, and after a long time, he said, "If you want to save it, save it." ”

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he knocked on the table, making a crisp sound in the night, and Zhao Jie's heart was shocked.

"It's just that you have to understand if it's because you want to save it, or if someone wants you to save it. If you can't let go of your blood and family, it's okay to save it, but if someone wants to kidnap you with blood and family and you have to save you, then you have to doubt this person's purpose. ”

Lin Xing rarely preached to him, this was the second time, but Zhao Jie understood as soon as he heard it.

After he came back alone in the afternoon, Uncle Zhong persuaded him for a long time, just to let him rescue the Zhao family from prison.

Zhao Jie didn't want to save him at first, after all, the Zhao family killed his father, but he couldn't stand the incorruptible tongue of the loyal uncle, especially the sentence: "The young master is now the only one left in the Zhao family's big house, if the lady moves other thoughts, there will be no one to protect the young master." Although the old lady is eccentric, after all, he is a member of the Zhao family, and he can't write two Zhao characters in one stroke, so he must still protect the young master. ”

Thinking that Lin Xing concealed his father's death, and went in and out with the prince of Chang'an Hou, Zhao Jie couldn't help but feel a little defensive in his heart.

Uncle Zhong was his father's confidant, and he naturally believed Uncle Zhong's words, so he was ready to wait for Lin Xing to come back and discuss the matter with her.

Under Lin Xingling's cold gaze, Zhao Jie didn't bear the pressure, and poured out what Zhong Botong said to himself like beans.

Hearing the end, Lin Xing only sneered, "What he said is high-sounding, do you know that he once let the prince enter my courtyard?" In my opinion, although Chang'an Hou Shizi is cynical, he is willing to save you and me from the Zhao family in times of crisis, even if he comes to the letter of Que Ling, this kindness is enough to remember. On the contrary, Guo Zhong deceived me and left no one to take care of me, and indulged the son of the world, how could he afford a word of loyalty? ”

If it wasn't Zhou Yan who came that day, but someone else, if Zhou Yan wasn't a righteous gentleman - although he went straight to the door, he wasn't a gentleman, if Zhou Yan really had bad thoughts, then what was her reputation? Where is innocence?

Zhao Jie was so shocked by Lin Xing's anger that he didn't dare to speak, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help complaining about his loyal uncle, and he was full of resentment.

"If he helps the Zhao family talk like this, he must have defected a long time ago! Or go to the police, arrest him too, and let him be the companion of his master! The more Zhao Jie thought about it, the more angry he became, and he got up and walked out.

"It's so late, you just go to break the drumsticks, and no one pays attention." Lin Xing glanced at him coldly, just as he was making a show for himself.

Waiting for Zhao Jie to return angrily, she said: "Since you are all guarding against me, then I will no longer care about this matter in the future, except for the letter of Bird Feather, which your father asked me to keep, I will not ask about other matters of the Zhao family." ”

"Don't, I was wrong......" Zhao Jie saw that she was about to pick a child, and was at a loss for a while.

"And the Zhao family, if Uncle Zhong wants you to save it, you can save it, if you don't follow the vine, how can you know who his master is?" Lin Xing interrupted him, and after speaking, he got up and brushed his sleeves, "This is the last time I will help you, you can ask for more blessings in the future." ”

Who hasn't lost their temper yet?
